Preparing for your time-off

Have an initial conversation with your supervisor to share your news and plans to take time off. This conversation must take place early enough for your supervisor to plan for your absences, both before and after your child has arrived.

Confirm who will code your time while you are away.

Request an Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) packet from HR Connections (about 30 days prior to birth, if possible).

After your child’s birth

Once your child is born, complete and provide the required Employee Heath Report (EHR) to ConocoPhillips Health Services no later than the seventh consecutive calendar day of your absence. The completed and approved EHR will also certify FML during maternity leave.

If you would like to take additional FML after maternity leave, complete the Care & Bonding Form.

Within 90 days of birth, add your child to your benefits coverage on YBR. You may also consider enrolling in a Dependent Day Care FSA to utilize pre-tax dollars to pay for day care and/or increasing your contribution to the Health Saving Account.

Transitioning back to work

Confirm with your supervisor when you will return to work and what your schedule will be upon your return.
